Hello everyone I know that it has been quite awhile since my last update. Please forgive me as I have been busy doing the Lord’s business and it has been an exciting fruitful season! God is breaking my heart more and more for the lost youth generation here in Australia. He has been giving me a deeper heart to intercede and pray that their eyes would be open to the truth of Jesus. He is blowing my mind in His word as I seek Him daily to feed me and be filled to the rim with His Spirit. Here’s an update of the ministries I’m involved with and how to pray:

YOUTH STREET
The Rage! For the last 4 weeks we have been getting our crew into bringing their friends to our Youth Street family. Every team is a color like yellow, pink, orange, and green and the crew get points for dressing up in their team color, bringing friends, and coming to our youth church called Livewire. We’ve seen over 25 new crew come to Youth Street over the last 4 weeks and have seen 10 crew give their lives to Christ! Praise God! We are eager to come alongside these new crew that have opened their hearts to Jesus and disciple them for them to grow in their faith!

4to6 Tutoring
Every Thursday from 4-6pm we have tutoring available for our crew in our cafe. For an hour we have group time filled with discussion, questions, food, and hang out time. The 2nd hour we tutor the crew in their homework. I have been so blessed to be a part of this new ministry that’s just been running for 3 months. So awesome to be a part of pioneering a new ministry!! We have 3 crew faithfully coming along with new crew signing up each week. We desire to disciple them in God’s values and disciplines and frankly just love on them by meeting their need of getting help with their homework.
A cool thing is that one of the crew’s parents, Chris, is super invoved every Thursday. He has a heart for the youth here in Newy and loves what we do. He’s not a Christian but so close! He’s always asking us about our relationships with God. He’s for sure on the brink of accepting Jesus so keep him in your prayers!

Worship Ministry
God is really giving me more of a heart for worship and the bride. I’ve been learning and playing new songs as well as writing new ones myself It has all been flowing from my personal time with God and the intimacy we share on a daily basis. I had the honor of going to Wollongong for the weekend and lead worship. It was a great opportunity to lead a congregation in worship and develop lifelong relationships as our church (Maranatha) will be spending 2 weeks there in July! I’m so looking forward to that! I’ve also been asked to record harmonies for my friend Andrea’s album. They are all his songs and I’ve had a lot of fun working alongside him. Not sure what God will do with the cd we just pray it blesses many!

Open Mic
Every Thursday night from 7-9pm we open up our cafe to local musicians to come share in music. It’s a great night of building relationships with the locals and providing a refuge from the pubs in the area. To come have a cup of coffee and be loved on by people who love Jesus! We’ve seen so much fruit from this outreach and we’re excited to see what God has in store for the coming months as more people are coming out on Thursday nights!

National Leaders Meeting
I have been asked to attend YWAM Australia’s National Leaders Meeting(NLM) My 4th-12th in Townsville which is the north east side of Australia. Many of the leaders and staff of YWAM Australia will be attending and we have been asked to do a training for Youth Street. Many other bases are interested in starting Youth Street in their area including Kona, Hawaii, Barcelona, Spain, Vanuatu, etc. We are stoked to share God’s heart for this ministry and vision. We want many more kids around the world to get saved in this is one of the venues God has created to do just that. The whole trip will be about $500.00 which includes airfare, accomodation, food, and ther conference itself.

So much amazing stuff is taking place here and God is working on behalf of all your prayers! Please continue to pray:
–That the crew that have accepted Jesus would grow in their faith and be planted in God’s word. That we would be faithful in coming alongside them.

–For finances to come in for the NLM

–That God would prepare my heart to come home in 5 weeks to help train the team from Maranatha. That it would be a time of refreshment and clarity of vision for the future.

–For my crew! Courtney, Jez, Jackson, Hannah, Drew, Nathan, Jess, Leena, Amy for them to grow in their relationships with God and tell others about Him!
